Reviews of this property

The apartment is consistent with the photographs presented on the ad. Tastefully renovated, located in a quiet neighborhood in the heart of Lisbon, the apartment would be ideal. However, few details are tainting the overall assessment. The sofa bed which lacks 5 battens (much less comfortable to sleep), the sink drains and clogged shower, the washing machine HS, and addicts screens, wifi and a TV that does not work! All this is not very serious, you say, but when a benefit, we reported the problem to the owner, as it promises to pass in the day to replace the bed slat and you pay nobody gives you a sign of life, you go necessarily unhappy or angry! Finally, the flashy, it's tempting, but comfortable essential for a relaxing holiday!

Reviews for this host's other properties

First of all, the staff was very kind and polite! Alex managed a cab and helped us out for our emergency flight.
The place looked proper and big. The bathrooms were ok and clean.
The rooms and beds also ok
The main reason we won't stay here anymore was the extreme noise of the club below us. We stayed from Thursday till Sunday and the nuisance was enormous!
We also disliked the fourth floor without elevator but that felt like peanuts compared our sleep during the nights.
In case of emergency, like fire, there was no escape possible. Except for jumping outside the window from 10 mtr high.
For us we liked the location during the day but we recommend another place as well.

First of all the pictures again detract from the real situation. The apartment was not clean, long black hair could be found everywhere on the stove to admit, I find this very onsmakelijk.Op the microwave was a layer of dust which once again emphasizes the app. was not cleaned while we are told on arrival that we had no access yet because it had not been cleaned. Around the stove everywhere was the trim? The shower curtain was not too tightly. There was a chair whose legs were all removed, not all the lights did. The apartment at the rear which was apparently caused inhabited by 4 young ladies for much noise late into the night, 3:30 pm !!!! The apartment is through the narrow spiral staircase hard to achieve especially with koffers.Dit app. a tegenvaller.Jammer was there for us the previous times we have achieved this was always neatly trimmed through Wimdu.

A very nice apartment in a convenient location. When occupied by the windowless rooms are a bit difficult. Beautiful view of the city. From there, the city is easy to explore on foot. Key handover and acceptance have worked smoothly.

The apartment is located in a pleasant neighborhood and is in an old house. The interior is full of Ikea. And it was quite cold; the apartment was very difficult to heat. The patio doors were broken causing a lot of heat was lost.
The bathroom was not clean as there were hairs in the bathtub from the previous guests. We also had no dishcloths and towels in the bathroom. Also lacked a garbage can in the kitchen.
The power was still out when we wanted to cook and that made it very difficult to prepare a meal. The coffeemaker flowed always about if we wanted coffee, the can did not fit with the device. The plus was that the beds were good. but that was really the only thing we are going to complain to the landlord. and who has adapted a number of things, including lamps replaced because it did not. and we got two tea towels.
The welcome was friendly, but we are sorry that the owner there is only out to make money and not want to give any service to the customers.
